Nature’s been there for you. Be there for nature.
Nature’s helped us cope with the challenges of lockdown. But it remains in decline and needs your support.
The reduction in human activity may have offered a temporary respite for wildlife but when the crisis is over, nature will remain in decline. Cornwall Wildlife Trust has the experience and knowledge to help reverse this decline to ensure Cornwall’s wildlife and wild places can thrive and be enjoyed long into the future. But we need your support to do it.
Please help protect Cornwall’s wildlife and wild places.

How your gift will make a difference
Your support will enable our continued and increased work on land and at sea. It will:
Help protect and enhance over 5,500 acres across 57 nature reserves in Cornwall, ensuring their protection and upkeep to improve habitats needed for wildlife needs to thrive
Tackle the challenges facing our seas, funding projects that monitor the health of our waters, influence for their protection, and mobilise community support to act for ocean conservation
Enable us to work with and support landowners, including farmers, to create more, desperately needed, wildlife friendly places. Our land conservation work also includes protecting some of our most threatened wildlife and reintroduction of species, such as beavers, to improve natural systems.
The impact of coronavirus on Cornwall Wildlife Trust
We adapted quickly to the crisis and thanks to our members, the commitment of our staff, and the understanding of volunteers, our work carries on. We've been implementing activities across nature reserves, conducting online events to help people better understand our oceans and how to protect them, and continued to monitor the impact at Cornwall Beaver Project, featured on this year's Springwatch.
But coronavirus has had an inevitable impact on our finances, threatening our important work. Without the support of people like you, our capacity to protect Cornwall’s wildlife and wild places, will be at risk.
